actionnetwork.orgTesla Takedown Orlando - John Young Parkway Join the Rainbow Democrats of Central Florida as we take on DOGE. Elon Musk is destroying our democracy, and he's using the fortune he built at Tesla to do it. We are taking nonviolent action at Tesla to stop Musk's illegal coup. Oppose DOGE loud and clear at the March 29th Tesla Takedown. We will join hundreds of locations across the country as we speak out against Musk and his illegal actions. The stakes couldn’t be higher. No one is coming to save us. Not politicians, not the media, not the courts. Tesla Takedown is a peaceful protest movement. We oppose violence, vandalism and destruction of property. This protest is a lawful exercise of our First Amendment right to peaceful assembly. We ask that attendees practice restraint in their responses to those driving by. There will always be hecklers and lots of hateful MAGA reactions, but we need to keep calm and avoid returning their hateful comments and speech. We can't wait to see you there! 2214 John Young Pkwy, Saturday March 29th, 2-4pm. The Wal-Mart at JYP and Princeton is the closest parking site to the protest. Please stay on the sidewalk of John Young Parkway as we will not be going onto the Tesla property. #TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla

#ScienceUnderSiege: The Orlando Research Conference Fallout

Something alarming is happening in the #ScientificCommunity, and it’s not getting the attention it deserves. A recent #NIH-backed #neuroscience conference in #Orlando turned into a disaster. Research sessions were canceled after being mistaken for “#DEI” initiatives, and funding was pulled.

One session on the diversity of afferent firing in the cochlea (how nerve cells transmit sound) was targeted because people saw the word “#diversity” and assumed it was political. #MAGA hat-wearing attendees reportedly vandalized posters.

The nescient reaction of the MAGA hat-wearing attendees to the word “diversity”—mistaking a scientific discussion on neural firing patterns in the cochlea for a political agenda—exemplifies a dangerous blend of #ignorance and ideological rigidity. Their inability to differentiate between linguistic context and #partisan buzzwords not only disrupted legitimate research but also underscored the broader issue of anti-intellectualism undermining scientific progress.

Worse, researchers discovered their already earned funding was revoked, postdoc opportunities disappeared, and the conference felt like a #funeral for the field as careers crumbled in real time.

Meanwhile, the NIH was banned from attending due to a new administration-imposed blackout on communications and travel, delaying critical #research on #Cancer, #HeartDisease, and #Diabetes.

#Science depends on open inquiry—but now, #political interference is gutting #research. This isn’t just about one conference. It’s a direct attack on scientific progress. If we don’t stand up now, what’s next?

🔬 Science must remain free from political control.
